BABAI have not run away, dear heart.
Baba is still waiting patiently for her gallant.

I am with you, dear wife.

Who was that girl, my life?

Only a milkmaid, pet,
to whom I was in debt.
(Tom and Baba are going into your home)

Baba the Turk, Baba the Turk,
before you retire
show thyself once,
Oh grant us our desire!
